HI all, I'm new here and in fact a new bike enthusiast. I'm 21 and I bought a Thundercat 600 in January with all my tests booked before the new laws came in. Unfortunately my test was cancelled 3 times because of the snow which means now I must abide by the new laws.
I already have a good idea of what I can and cannot do but there is one rule that is causing me problems:
"You cannot restrict a bike more than 50% its total bhp".
Now, brand new my bike would have been producing 100bhp meaning getting it to the legal 46bhp would be illegal.. just. But since its now 14 years old, I'm fairly sure it will have lost a few horses. If I was to somehow prove it was now 92bhp or below then restrict it, would that make it legal?
If not, well come grab a bargain.. http://yamahaclub.com/forums/classifieds/item/2-yamaha-thundercat-600/
All the best,
Oli
